In California, I dream of snow
D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F# Em A
And all the places we used to go
G D G D
With the night falling down
G D G D
With the night falling down
G D G A D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F# Em A
Now I?m living in Koreatown waking to the sound of car alarms
I remember your face when I showed you the ticket
Said you were happy for me, your heart wasn?t in it
Just a phone call away
Now there?s nothing to say
As the days roll by, disconnected
G A D C Bm
In the land where the sun?s always shining I?m crying alone
Bm/A G D G D
The palm trees laugh at me
G D G
Another fool playing songs that don?t matter
D G C C/B Am
To people who chatter endlessly
Another suicide on the 405
The Black Dahlia, she smiles and smiles
It?s the same old town that bled her dry
One more starlet one more time
Bound to make it do or die
Take a walk to Bonnie Brae
Try and wash these dreams away
They tell me L.A.?s beautiful when it rains
